Assuming it's a web link that you are opening (and not something like a direct link to a PDF document), goto Windows Settings > System > Default Apps > and set the Web Browser to open with Internet Explorer, instead of Microsoft Edge.

Wondered why my fan was running so long, hovered down over System Explorer 7.0 and naturally, it was solid...

Edge or IE? What more does Edge offer?I've found a few sites don't work well with Edge, and had to use IE to open them. Norton also warns that it is not set up to handle Egde yet compared to IE.
So what's the purpose of Edge over IE? I'm struggling to see what it does better, even...
